Chapter 579: The Age of Discovery 4
Turner, who was also a warm-hearted man, said to Carter, "Dude, take the housekeeper to see your boat, your boat is still very new, and it should sell for a good price!" ”
"Okay!" Carter said and threw himself in front of the computer, "Wait for me to save a disk, I finally passed through the Americas, the voltage on the ship is a little unstable, and it will be bad if it suddenly restarts!" ”
Fang Hao: "......"
The building on the deck of this ship has three floors, with the operation room at the top and the lower two floors as a place for the crew to live, eat and entertain.
Below deck is the cargo hold.
The whole deck was very large, and Fang Hao saw a device covered with a rain cloth, so he asked, "What's in here?" ”
"Hoist!" Carter said and lifted the tarpaulin and introduced it a little proudly, "The German Kata brand can best show the power of steel!" ”
Exposed underneath a quite large winch, which is a drum winding wire rope or chain to pull heavy equipment, also known as a winch, can be dragged horizontally, can also be lifted vertically!
Fang Hao asked, "How do you have this device?" ”
Carter said, "I'm going to salvage a shipwreck!" Of course, the equipment must be complete! ”
"That's right, I asked a superfluous question!" Fang Hao smiled self-deprecatingly.
Turner hurriedly said: "No, the question asked by the gold lord is never superfluous, Carter, do you say yes?" ”
Carter nodded hurriedly.
The three chatted as they walked, and Carter talked about the Tang Dynasty shipwreck "Blackstone" that Germany salvaged in Indonesia in 1998. It is said that at that time, the salvage people made a profit of more than 100 million euros from this salvage alone, which was more than 100 million euros in 98 years.
This incident directly irritated many people.
There are a lot more salvage teams in the world all of a sudden.
The salvage teams in Europe and the United States are okay, at least well-equipped.
The most hateful are the salvage teams of countries such as Nanyang, Indonesia, and Malay, who are simply the salvage teams that fishermen have turned into.
And what they salvaged were all Chinese shipwrecks, because during the Ming Dynasty, they had no ocean-going ability at all, and that sea area was basically the inland sea of China.
Their salvage methods are particularly crude, and many of them are directly wooden fishing boats, not to mention the winch, and there is not even a pulley lever device.
Directly let people dive into the sea, find something, and pull it hard.
The fine porcelain in the shipwreck has been damaged by countless people like this.
After reading it, Fang Hao was very satisfied with this ship, because Carter itself was a ship that was transformed according to the salvage ship, so it could be used directly when he got his hands on it.
Fang Hao said to Carter: "Make a price!" ”
Carter said: "I bought this ship at the time and spent 130,000 euros, of course, I certainly can't sell it to you at this price!" After all, I've been using it for a while, it's second-hand, not brand new! But if it is auctioned now, the price should be between 1.1 million and 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars! If you sincerely ask for it, you take 1.1 million! ”
Fang Hao understood the market price, so he didn't bargain, and said very happily: "Yes, 1.1 million!" ”
Carter suddenly asked, "I would like to ask, what are you buying this ship for?" ”
Fang Hao looked at Carter.
Carter shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be calm: "Generally speaking, those who do shipping or water business have their own channels for buying ships!" Very few people go directly to the tea restaurant and ask! So...... You weren't in this business before, were you? ”
"Haha, that's right!" Fang Hao nodded, "The use of my buying it is actually the same as yours, for sea salvage work!" ”
"Oh!" Carter exclaimed in surprise, "Man, listen to me, don't buy, don't buy!" It's hard to make money in this kind of thing, especially if you have no experience at all, it's easy to lose money! ”
Fang Hao said: "No, I have a channel!" ”
Carter pondered for a moment, and suddenly proposed, "Man, I'll reduce the price of the ship to 1 million, can you hire me as the captain?" ”
"Huh?"
Fang Hao looked at Carter.
Carter said, "Listen to me, although modern steamships are not the ships that required a lot of people to drive in the Middle Ages!" But even so, such a thousand-ton ship still needs at least three sailors plus a mechanic! And if you want to go to sea, you must have relevant qualifications, and I have the qualification of a captain! This will save you a lot of trouble! ”
Turner also helped beside him: "Carter drove from Europe to Xiangjiang by himself, and his skills are okay!" ”
Fang Hao nodded: "Yes, the price of the ship does not need to be reduced!" ”
Carter was very happy: "Thank you, boss! You'll find it a great deal to hire me! ”
"I hope so!"
"Boss, where are you going? Need to recruit crew members right now? ”
Carter may be a game addict, but he does have a genuine love for sailing.
After Fang Hao negotiated the salary with him, he asked him to register a company first, after all, to recruit crew members or something, you have to have a company, which involves paying various insurances to employees and so on.
Then recruit the crew, get ready early, and wait for his order to go.
For this reason, Fang Hao also gave Carter 300,000 office funds, and asked him to prepare the ship, repair what should be repaired, paint what should be painted, and refuel what should be refueled.
He didn't worry about Carter running away, with his ability, he didn't worry about anyone in this world running.
But Carter didn't know that Fang Hao had this ability, so he was very moved and said, "You really trust me too much!" Please rest assured, I will not take the money and run away! I will not fail to live up to your trust! ”
Fang Hao smiled: "Do things well!" ”
In the afternoon of the next day, the exhausted Song Kaiqi found Fang Hao.
Just looking at her haggard appearance, Fang Hao knew that she had failed to persuade her three brothers.
"Failed?"
Song Kaiqi nodded, not to mention failure, she almost fell out with her three brothers, but she still didn't give up, she said: "There is no basis for what they say, they just don't believe that there are such amazing people and things in this world!" You...... Can you come with me? As long as you show your magic, they will definitely believe it, and they will abandon the darkness and turn to the light! ”
"Innocent!"
Fang Hao smiled and asked, "Why?" ”
"Huh?"
Fang Hao said: "Why should I make them believe? Or even to meet them in person for this? Miss Song Kaiqi, I hope you can figure it out, I was touched by your great-grandfather, so I am willing to help his children and grandchildren! But that doesn't mean I need to be cheekless and take the initiative to sell myself like a stick! And they still have an antipathy to me! ”
"But ......" Song Kaiqi still wanted to insist.
"Nothing!" Fang Hao interrupted Song Kaiqi's words, "I hope you don't be fettered by family affection, think about it carefully, do they really not believe it, or don't want to believe it, is it because they think that these wealth are theirs for granted, even if I am real, they don't want this wealth to have another owner?" ”
Song Kaiqi opened her mouth.
Fang Hao stood up, picked up his pajamas, and walked towards the bathroom: "I'll go take a shower, and after I come back, I hope you can give me an answer!" Don't let me down, opportunities aren't always given to you! ”
With that, he walked into the bathroom by himself.
